Cheesecake Factory settles sex-harassment lawsuit
November 16, 2009
The restaurant chain Cheesecake Factory will pay $345,000 to six male employees who said they were sexually harassed and assaulted by other male employees at the restaurant at Chandler Fashion Center.
The payment settles a lawsuit filed in 2008 by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, which claimed that Cheesecake Factory knew about and tolerated repeated sexual assaults against the men by a group of other men who worked in the kitchen.
Sidney Greathouse, vice president of legal services for California-based Cheesecake Factory Inc., denied the allegations.
The consent decree assigns no liability but allows the company to avoid further expense of litigation, he said in a statement.
